Hi all,
I've scoured the mailing list and can't find anything, so I figure I'll
start a new topic...
I'm running a Debian GNU/Linux box for a router / firewall at home. Using
a 2.4.19 customed kernel, Pentium MMX, IPTables 1.2.6a, and Narc
auto-configuration script for IPTables. I've got the same configuration
running on a webhosting box, except its running a p4 1.5.
My problem is that intermittently (and only as of lately) has my connection
been dropping to ~4000ms for a roundtrip... and after 15-20 minutes it
resumes back to its normal ~80ms. Does anyone know whats causing this?
Logging is off, and afaict the rules are optimized. When I stop IPTables
and just try pinging google, my ping time returns to 80... but as soon as I
fire IPTables up again, it raises the ping time to ~4000ms.
Theres nothing listing in my processes (ps aux or top) that indicate
anything related to IPTables or narc... I am absolutely stumped - as this
has only happened in the past 2 days after 3 months of running solid.
Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
